The Bitter Truth About The Igbo, By Femi Fani-Kayode

Image
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J This article written by Femi Fani-kayode has being trending on WhatsApp today and we thought we should bring it back for our numerous readers Permit me to make my second and final contribution to the raging debate about Lagos, who owns it and the seemingly endless tensions that exist between the Igbo and the Yoruba. It is amazing how one or two of the numerous nationalities that make up Nigeria secretly wish that they were Yoruba and consistently lay claim to Lagos as being partly theirs. Have they forgotten where they came from? I have never heard of a Yoruba wanting to give the impression to the world that he is an Igbo, an Ijaw, an Efik or a Hausa-Fulani  or claiming that he is a co-owner of Port Harcourt, Enugu, Calabar, Kano or Kaduna. Yet more often than not, some of those that are not of Yoruba extraction but that have lived in Lagos for some part of their lives have tried to cl...

Introduction Ever wondered why you see the lengthy information enclosed in a prescribed or Over The Counter (OTC) medication packaging?

Several studies have been conducted to show whether PIL are beneficial to aid medication compliance or to discourage it. I will be talking about patient information leaflet, why they are important and the purpose for it. What is Patient Information Leaflet? A patient information leaflet can be defined as  a technical document included in every medicine package to offer written informati...
